IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet
Exchange. IPX and SPX are networking protocols used primarily on
a Network using the Novell NetWare operating systems. This is a
very memory efficient protocol and was originally combined with
the NIC driver.
With the advent of cheaper memory and the explosion of Internet use,
Novell has moved away from using IPX/SPX and now uses TCP/IP as the
default protocol for NetWare instead.
